Too bad, if you had an xbox you could play with me...
BTW, xbox is so better... Netflix - Party mode; chat with friends as you all enjoy a movie at the same time. Online - More of a "premium" service, sure you have to pay, but it's more reliable and has better features. Last.FM - Radio on your xbox, streamed online. ESPN Channel - Coming this winter, stream espn with friends online.

Yeah but you have to buy games more than once with Xbox because it eats the CD's At least the 2 we have had do... I have a buddy that says he can fix them though...

I have had xboxes dating back to the original (core) system; I've never had a single disk eaten...
Let me guess, you stand yours up vs laying it down... Where you CAN do that, it's not really recommended...
And you can buy a disk resurfacer and not have to buy new disks... or a squaretrade warranty i think even covers games for like $10...
They do make pads to install in the dvd drive (though that involves opening the xbox which voids your warranty) that make it so that they don't spin freely when you set the xboxes on their ends.

They both have media center functions; the xbox can read from a windows media center install on a computer on the network and can read from any uPnP stream on the network.
They both have exclusive titles (Little Big Planet for Sony for an example and Halo for the XBox).
PSN (the online service for the xbox) is free, however it sucks and a lot of the items you'd otherwise get included in your subscription to Xbox Live you would get nickel and dimed for on PSN.
